In sa'altum an ilaahi
Fa hua rahman ar-raheem
Anzala shara'a haneefa
Rahmatal il-'alameen
Rahmatal il-'alameen
In sa'altum an kitaabi
Fa hua qur'an ul-kareem
Damma dustur al-hayaathi
Wa hawa nur al-mubeen
Wa hawa nur al-mubeen
If you ask me who my God is
On whose name I call
If you ask me who my God is
He's the God of us all
Allah, the merciful
If you ask me what my book is
That I hold in my hand
If you ask me what my book is
It's the holy qur'an
The holy qur'an
In sa'altum an nabiyyi
Fa hua isaan un-adheem
Allaman ma saluman
Jama'a dunya wad-deen
Jama'a dunya wad-deen
In sa'altum an aduwwi
Fa hua shaytaan ur-rajeem
Khailun yad'u li kufurin
Wa yu'id ul-murtadeen
Wa yu'id ul-murtadeen
If you ask me who my prophet is
I will say "haven't you heard?"
His name is muhammad (salallahu 'alayhi wa sallam)
A mercy to the worlds
A mercy to the worlds
If you ask me who my enemy is
I will say "don't you know?"
If you ask me who my enemy is
It's that same old devil
That same old devil
In sa'altum an ilaahi
Fa hua rahman ar-raheem
In sa'altum an kitaabi
Fa hua qur'an ul-kareem
In sa'altum an nabiyi
Fa hua isaan un-adheem
In sa'altum an aduwwi
Fa hua shaytaan ur-rajeem
